Long time no see, GH2 people!
I've been getting the fuzzies for GH2 again for a couple months now, but my boy Connor dropped me some stems for a song he did for his virtual J-rock group MoriHime a few days ago, and you don't say no to free stems, do you?
In short order, I charted it all up pretty quickly and dusted off my old chart demo disc to show it off in-engine. Normally, when I chart for GH2, something has to get tweaked, either the stage animations or the mix, but here? Pretty much perfect on the first shot. I can't describe how excited I was to see it in-engine. Seriously, every GH2 custom I get working is a little bit like Christmas--I can't 100% tell what it'll look like just from some text events and FeedBack note scrolls, so it's as much a surprise to me as it is to you.
You won't be able to tell from this video, but (shoutout to Felipe who found a way to make this happen) I switched over my formerly very clunky MIDI pitches-based camera cut solution to a text event solution far closer to how Rock Band does its cuts, as I always intended but never 100% figured out. This means I can author cuts directly in FeedBack (fast, easy) and not in Reaper's piano roll (obnoxious, eye-glazing). I'll need to port my existing charts over to this, but going forwards, much easier on myself.
I've been debating the best way to announce my future plans for GH2, but this is what I've got for tonight: I still love this game, and I will do more with it. I will eventually finish up the marfGH discs, and all my other silly ideas. You will see those. I think it'd be a damn shame if all the work I've done and could be doing for easily my favorite game of all time went to waste because of some dumb shit that happened in a Discord server almost two years now. I'm not saying right now, but I'm saying by the end of 2025, there will be something big from me. I might still go into more detail in a video, but you'll have to give me a bit. I'm working full time now, and my time is a lot more precious to me as a result.
The MoriHime stuff is fucking killer, and if you like your J-music, you can check out Connor's full tribute to Sonic Adventure's soundtrack over on his Bandcamp: morihime.bandcamp.com/album/morihime
And! Although I'm holding the full GH2 chart for a future marfGH, since this video is partially meant to promote his album (again, go listen to it, some phenomenal effort went into it), I've prepared a Clone Hero version of this chart which you can grab off my website: mariteaux.somnolescent.net/modding/guitar-hero/charts/morihime_-_shooting_star_ch.zip
Stay tuned, folks. If you're here twenty years after GH2 came out, you're probably in it for the long haul, and I thank you for that. Let's give this another try.
